Stone Temple Pilots - Plush (Lucy XM54)

Fall 2007 Preview

Synopsis: From the makers of Far Cry, Crysis offers FPS fans the best-looking, most highly-evolving gameplay, requiring the player to use adaptive tactics and total customization of weapons and armor to survive in dynamic, hostile environments including Zero-G.



My Take: This is the kind of game that you pick up to see what your system can do. It's not like anyone will ever see, but you just want to know how the best looking game ever made works on it. Beyond that, the concept of the game is new and interesting. Your character is wearing a "nano muscle suit" that allows you to switch your style of play on the fly. Someone can be ready to finish you off; have you near death. In any other game, you have a second or two to live. In this game, you can switch to sprint, run off, switch to strength and jump incredibly high, and just after you jump, switch to cloak and disappear.

Unlike Far Cry, Crytek is putting a lot of effort into the multiplayer part of the game. That isn't to say they're neglecting the single player at all. You'll be playing in different environments than just a jungle, including the ice level gameplay that was released on Thursday. The game looks solid at this point, and should give Halo 3 and Half-Life ep 2 a run for their money.
